$75 Weekly Shopping and Menu 1-14-19

Meal plan, grocery list, and coupon deals for 1-14-19. Want to know what a family of 3 eats for $75 a week? Check back every Monday!

I hope you all had an amazing weekend! I taught my first live class on Saturday called Healthy Meal Planning for the New Year, and it went really well despite the snow. I had 7 ladies join me and I’m just so thrilled that I was able to teach them how to meal plan healthier food on a budget! 

In case you missed it last week, our family (Minus Allison) is doing a Daniel Fast until the 30th. It’s a strict vegan diet, so our menu will look a little different for the rest of the month. I went shopping in the middle of the week last week (Check out my Facebook picture!) and did a bunch of meal prep to prepare. And now we’re back to a mostly normal week.

Can I just say how much I love winter squash right now? They’re so cheap and you can do so much with them. My favorite recipe that uses spaghetti squash is this Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash. That’ll have to wait until next month for us… hopefully, if squash is still on sale!
